I am a medical marijuana patient with a card in Illinois. I have chronic myeloid leukemia, and I am doing the RSO treatment, and will have completed the first 30 days of the treatment on the 15th of August, of a gram of RSO a day for 30 days. Also on August 15, my hematologist has ordered a complete battery of blood test, including a new 9/22 test to see where my counts are after one month, or 1/2 of the treatment regime has been completed. I am fortunate that I have a hematologist that is a cancer research doctor, who has a very open mind, and is willing to record my use of RSO for CML in his research. This is something that I feel is very important for the future of medical marijuana treatments, because only by building an information base, will future patients have the needed knowledge to make informed decisions about the use of medical marijuana, and the most successful ways of administering treatment, based on reliable unbiased information, judged not only by the successes, but the failures that may occur as well.
I say this, because when I was researching the use of medical marijuana for cancer, and specifically CML, I found the information to be very hard to find, and what I did find was only partially helpful, with the exception of a couple of research articles that gave me the impression that RSO oil did have have the very real possibility of not only inhibiting the growth of the 9/22, i.e. "Philadelphia cell", but having the very real possibility of killing the "Philadelphia cell", something that cannot be accomplished with the pharmaceuticals now available to treat CML. At this time, CML can only be completely eradicated with a complete stem cell transplant.
I am not sure how some may feel about Rick Simpson, but the testimonials that have been given about his RSO and the purported success cannot be ignored. I have learned through the use of different RSO strains offered by the dispensary I frequent that not all RSO strains are as effective with my conditions. The best I have found is an Indica strain made from the whole plant of the Mag Landrace strain with a THC content of 82%+, and though there have been several sativa strains, and even hybrids that have similar THC percentages, according to Rick Simpson's testimonials the Mag Landrace appears to be best possible RSO available, not because it is Mag Landrace, but because it is an Indica strain. -|- It might be noted that I have not done any kind of treatments using pharmaceuticals or radiation. -|- With that in mind, it would seem appropriate to take whatever results are found after the 30 days, and the 60 days of RSO treatments as guide for whether further use is indicated in my situation, and possibly others with conditions similar to mine, since the use RSO, changing my diet, and the use of bud, and extracts from strains with high THC content are the only things that are different than when I received the diagnosis of CML in November 2018.
I am hopefully that the results will show that the RSO is inhibiting the growth of the "Philadelphia cell". I can attest to the fact that I have seen marked improvement since I started the treatment, both mentally, by relieving stress and physically, especially with an increase in energy, less muscle spasms, and more durability, i.e. not getting as tired as quickly as I had previously.
If there is anyone who has tried RSO for CML, I would like to know what your observations were and what your outcome was, if you wish to discuss it.
